The catwalk gets painted of green, orange, electric
blue. This are the colors of the gowns, strictly long,
chosen by the Chinese actresses of Reign of Assassins, the
movie co-directed by John Woo with Taiwanese director Su Chao-Pin.
Michelle Yeoh, the Korean superstar Jung Woo Sung, and other
oriental stars, Pace Wu and Angeles Woo, paraded happily
for the premiere of the movie and especially for the prize
given to John Woo, Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in the 67th
Venice Film Festival.

There is also space for eccentricity with the hot-pink
and black shoe with a wide and round tip worn by actor Shawn
Yue. But also Quentin Tarantino, that showed up for the
evening in a wide cowboy hat, maybe stolen from his friend Robert
Rodriguez. And it's Tarantino himself, with
director Marco Müller and Tsui Hark, cult director, to give
the award to John Woo, specially known for his Hollywood
productions, from Face Off to Mission Impossible
II, but always famous with fans of the genre.

Woo, rather moved, admits to have left America to go
back to filming in his country, where he has the intention
of creating a cinematographic bridge between the East and the West.
And immediately Tarantino reveals that he too is ready to
go to China for one of his next films. A night decisively
in the key of cloak and dagger, love and female martial arts.
